Yup, we did end up hiring their best known R/C guy a couple weeks ago though!

Yup, mine is one of the few left. There are a handful of HobbyTown franchises, I happen to work for the one in St. Charles, then there's a couple down in the Joliet area, I think there's a train oriented shop in Elgin still, not sure about Prosek's between West Chicago and Winfield, I think they're now just flowers.

This, this, this, this, THIS! Dad saw thit exact same problem a decade before you did with his own '62 Plymouth as well as customers' cars, including a '57 Chevy own by somebody with what sounded like the he used the exact same keychain!

That's not too bad, to put no modification LED 5×7 inch LED headlights are at least $250 a light, and those are just the lights, no additional brakets, handles, hole saws, ect are needed!

Sounds like it's one of Warren Buffett's companies, I'd be surprised if they were that foolish.

Well, at least you could get the weather then, that's pretty hard to come by on the "Weather" Channel anymore.

There was talk of it on NBC-5 News last night, and I'll be honest, I'd rather see it go to a company like that!

Eh, I'd rather have the Million Dollar Cuda, but both are overpriced.

Seriously, this is a new reality show?! http://mashable.com/2014/06/30/fat-guys-in-the-woods-is-an-actual-show-coming-to-the-weather-channel/

I believe that's called Karma Gotta X3 this one.

Electrics and hybrids are funny, saw an old Escape Hybrid as I was walking into work from a distance and didn't hear it at all, but I have heard a few mechanical noises from a Volt and have heard the motor whine from a Tahoe Hybrid, both from closer distances. You kinda have to change what you listen for.

I thought we had that here too Harry (wouldn't have been a surprise), but it ended up being thunder and lightening instead!

The 6 speed auto in my 200 is like that too, however, since the trans was designed to use one, all the provisions are there to install one yourself once you get the dipstick (the ones that were in the 3 speed autos in my Lebaron and Shadow would probably work) from the parts store/dealership.

Or two!

Went out to a park to do some R/C trail running with some friends and we ran across something along those lines that can't in any way could be referred as a simple apple. o_O

One thing that is funny about all this rain, we do parking lot racing from May-September and usually the first 6 races have a good chance of getting called for rain or lap computer issues, but neither has been an issue so far this season?!

I got one for the '94 ZJ Grand Cherokee I totalled back in '98 this past winter because of that whole gas tank debacle. Still find the whole furver over that funny since my '98 XJ Cherokee has it's tank in the same place and made from the same plastics, yet isn't an issue?!

Not that I've heard, I'm sure Monday will have a few more. Got a friend with a S10 that's waiting to see if he gets any for it, luckily our last GM product died in '04 and finally got scrapped in '08 or '09, hope it doesn't get recalled too!

Don't really see electric P/S as any better or worse than Hydralic, just something different to fail instead of something new.

I swear the "-by-wire" stuff is there primarily to make consumers, insurers/safety advocates, and the politians they vote for/buy while in office happy. Only viable excuse I see in "-by-wire" tech is that plugging in a bunch of brand new electrical connectors made of plastic into each other is easier than running then connecting throttle and shift linkages.

Things like that are where I still prefer real linkages! I can trust electronics enough to control the fuel system and ignition and shifting gear to gear, but when it comes to throttle, brakes, shift levers, and even push button start, I'll take mechanical linkages any day!

I'm hoping that's a coincidence!

The 200 is registered to me (37) while the Jeep is also registered to Dad (72), both are registered to the same house, gets nearly all the same discounts (except the alarm and the nannies and such, the 200 is full of that junk while the Jeep only has 2 airbags), and both get driven in the many of the same areas as your Mustang, just much less now for the Jeep since I don't DD it all of the time any more.

Preachin' to the choir here Mark, I wish I knew why my '98 XJ Jeep Cherokee Limited with a 4.0l I-6 costs nearly as much for full coverage as my 2012 200 Touring with the Pentastar V-6 does, there's less that $100 difference between the two! Can't be hp/lbs, the 200 is slightly heavier but way more powerful and I think it would do just as much damage to the other vehicle in a wreck unless a pedestrain is involved. Could be handling and stability, but considering XJ's are freakishly stable and have surprisingly high handling limits for SUV's with two solid axles and 700lbs worth of I-6 sitting over the front axle, I'd hope that isn't the case, unless they base SUV safety and liability on the first 10 years of Explorer production, I don't know........

So far the only "Reality Car Show" I like to watch is Counting Cars.......actually, that's one of the few non news reality shows I'll try to watch! I wasn't truely impressed with the initial concept, but it did turn out to keep my attention. Already have a couple people on the show that I think need to be sent packing and as soon as I heard the hostess say that the one judge designed the Clooney Batmobile, I thought that alone should have disqualified him from being a judge.
